RB TreVeyon Henderson (Official Thread)

The sick thing is every single RB on the roster could play 2 more for the Buckeyes because they are so young. Talk about a treasure chest in the RB room. I think each one of these guys could carry the load in a given game and do well but they have to stay healthy and we haven't seen that in a long time

Not quite sure how to read this. Either that Henderson wanted surgery and the medical staff did not think it necessary, or that the medical staff encouraged surgery, but Henderson was not for it and tried to get back onto the field. Either way, apparently whatever hard feelings that were there supposedly are gone.

Columbus Dispatch: With TreVeyon, when he talked at Peach Bowl media day, he'd come around, but there were some tough times for him with the foot. He was not happy with the way it was handled. How did you patch things up with him?

Ryan Day: I think anytime you fight through an injury, it's frustrating. You want to get on the field. I've said before that I give him a lot of credit for continually trying to get back on the field. We talked about how when someone's trying to fight through something, giving a lot of detail on that isn't great for him. But at the same time, there's a lot of questions on what's going on, and there's an unknown. That's a hard feeling for a player.

He got his surgery. He tried to fight through it all season, and I give him a lot of credit for that. TreVeyon is very competitive, and he wants to be great. He’s very driven, so that doesn't surprise me because he's so competitive.

This. His style is 2 yard gain then a 1 yard loss and then 45 for a TD. Chop is the guy if you want to run downhill on a D with consistent 5 to 10 yard runs.

Chop is also the guy more often then not if you need 3rd and 1 when everyone knows your running.

Now maybe he can build that strength we certainly never got to see if he could this year with the injury clearly hampering him.

Id love to see both in the game on occasion and get Henderson some Samuel type touches.

Maybe on 3rd and short motion him into the back field to a shotgun- split backs look and misdirection one then hit the other. Anything to be unpredictable and keep Defenses guessing.

Obviously Trey needs many looks in the passing game out of the backfield

They need to scheme plays up for him. He's a big play guy, but not a small play guy. Which is ok.

Kind of surprised to see a few agree with this take and to be ok with it.

Scheme plays up for him? Basically you're stating he doesn't have the tools to read a running lane and to create his own big plays. Which btw I agree with because IMO Tre lacks vision and more importantly patience to let things develop.

The bigger issue I have with that statement is... then why have him on the field if things need schemed up or if plays have to be blocked well for Trey to churn out tough yards?

It's a running backs job to read the blocks and then to get as many yards as you can. Sometimes that's 85 yards for six in the playoffs but sometimes it's to fight to get back to the LOS so it's not a loss. We know Miyan has that in him and I think Hayden does too.

Yes, Trey was hampered by his foot but this is now 2 years where he falls apart by mid-season and his production goes with it.

I hope Trey can turn it around but no offense...give me the backs that don't need to be schemed up such as #3 and #5.

I hear what you're saying. But I think many are saying to scheme for him to play in the open field and create mismatches. He can still run off tackle and up the gut, but his skill set is better in 1 on 1s. He reminds me of some of the dynamic players that USC brought in under Carroll: Reggie Bush and Joe McKnight. Bush was a homerun threat, but was best suited for a committee style. McKnight never reached his full potential in college, but in HS was a monster who was a threat as a runner, receiver and return man. In college, Carroll didn't find enough ways(and McKnight probably didn't work all that hard as he should have at USC), but you knew he had the potential to be dangerous. But again, both needed to be schemed for to be successful. Bush had his strengths and weaknesses, and they aligned with White's S's and W's, similar to how Henderson and Williams complement one another.

I have great respect for him and the way he has handled himself through adversity. If, and it would seem to be a BIG if, he can remain healthy the entire year, he could really be something. However, that is going to mean a serious reversion given his history. We wish him well!

I'm not saying he CANT do it. Just that I think he's more of a 12-14 touch guy than an everydown back. Which isn't really an insult. Most guys aren't Zeke, where you are great at both banging out 3rd and 3 and making big plays.
